Chapter 1 (choose one)
Quote-Two children - one male, one female - to each family unit. It was written very clearly in the rules. (p. 10)
Expression. I believe that family should not be limited to the amount of kids they want. Sometimes kid come unexpected but the move has the love to take care of them. If you had just one brother or sister, life would be dull. If you are boy, girl don't like to play boy games. As well the same way around. Personally growing up with 2 brothers is very fun and never boring.
Chapter 2
"But to be honest, Jonas," his father said, "for me there was not the element of suspense that there is with your Ceremony. Because I was already fairly certain of what my Assignment was to be."
Expression- If their is no element of surprise, life wouldn't be as thrilling as it is now. There are kids that know for sure what they want to be and follow it as adults. But their are kids like me who want to do a lot of things. And what you told to work as/ be as is very demanding. In the story, kids want to get a certain job and love the job they get and keep doing it. It doesn't say in the story, but i'm sure there are people in that utopia that hate their job, and they have to do it or they have to sign up for release.
Chapter 3
The apple had changed. Just for an instant. It had changed in mid-air, he remembered. Then it was in his hand, and he looked at it carefully, but it was the same apple. Unchanged. The same size and shape: a perfect sphere. The same nondescript shade. (p. 2
Maybe he saw a diffirent type of apple. I mean like a dif. chance. One looked lumpy with bumps on it and long. The other could of been plum and smooth. Beutiful looking

He could see his friend Fiona help the old man from the tub and tenderly pat his thin, naked body dry. (p. 30)
Expression- See, personally if i saw a naked person, espacially an old person, i would not be able to find it with in my self not to saw EWWWW laugh or poke anything. I just couldn't. Fiona must be very disciplined or mindless to do that and not react in such a way as i would
Chapter 5
You're ready for the pills, that's all. That's the treatment for stirrings.
ExpressionStirrings? Why would you even take pills in the first place. If they could do that with pills why just not take the emotions before they are born? Why take away those feeling. They should take away pain sadness loneliness. But not love. That is the best emotion
Chapter 6 (choose one)
Those who were released were sent Elsewhere and never returned to the community. (p. 41)
So if they were released, where was that elsewhere? The far and beyond? Or would it be heaven? It was be old people who were usually realeased right? Would they put them in a coffin and push into the river to float away forever? Or would it be a speacial transportation to Disneyland?

Jonas has been selected to be our next Receiver of Memory (p. 57)
The poor kid must have been sweating bricks. Feeling dizzy. Feeling his stomach churning. Maybe a million gazzilion thoughts going through head. Seeing doubles. Can't walk. Thats how i would feel
Chapter 9
"What happened to her?"he asked nervously.
But his parents looked blank. "We don't know."
Why cant they explain what happened. Instead of the kids being clueless. Wouldn't it just be easier to learn everything at a young age and ask all questions young. So when people are older there even more confused? It makes sense to teach from yound
Chapter 10 (choose one)
He thought it was only him. At that time. No other place in the universe. No history. He just thought the world is his community and no where else? No traces from before with their techonology. Where they got it from?
I thought there was only us. I thought there was only now. (p. 74)
Chapter 11
"Why don't we have snow, and sleds, and hills?"
Snow is the best season. Well winter is. Snow is always fun, You can do so many things with snows it not funny. You can eat or drink it. You can play snow ball fights. Build snow man and go down hills .The snow is endless fun
Chapter 12
"We shouldn't have!" Jonas said fiercely (p. 91)
Sameness isn't very fun. You could there is no racism and none of that crime. Less killing and crimes with colors. True to that, that is upside to sameness. But Colors bring life to the world. Rainbows look so cool they have all the colors. Colors is the adjectives of life
Chapter 13
"We really have to protect people from wrong choices."
Why would you pick someone's decisions? Isn't it their lives? If you pick it, isnt it more like slavery then good decisions? And the people who pick their jobs there generation picked their jobs. Its a cyle with end less brain less zombies. Sorry to offend them but its true
Chapter 14 (choose one)
"But what wisdom do you get from hunger?" (p. 105)
The wisdom I got from hunger, is how to cook. When you are hungry fix up a plate. Eventually you can cook a meal with very few things in the fridge. Hunger shows you how to prepare meals and not how to starve to death.
Chapter 15
The Giver looked away, as if he could not bear to see what he had done to Jonas. "Forgive me, " he said.
Why do they get all the pain. Its not fare that they live in endless agony while the other can be free of pain. Its just not fair. This job is a speacial privledge
Chapter 16
"And they won't be part of my life anymore. . . And they'll be well cared for and respected." (p. 118)
Old people get the good luxury life. Fed , bathe. Everything you don't like to do they get it. Wow that really is paradise. Getting treat like royalty. That is just awesome!
Chapter 17
"Then I wave bye-bye," he said, in the special sweet voice he used when he spoke to the newchild.
He Speaks in a manner that would pleasure the maybe. The maybe would laugh or giggle. Maybe understand. The baby would feel kindness. He like it in that tone of voice. Instead of a firm voice
Chapter 18-19
I know what they did was very wrong. He did do it in a very humane way. Not torchuring it to death. Hurting it. But killing an innocent baby so their precious community is perfect. To reach that goal, they killed a new born. They don't know what they did was wrong, but still its still horrible.

"Her name was Rosemary."
Chapter 21
"First thing tomorrow morning."
Expression - Having that aniexty about leaving the community after all these years must be so weird. Thinking about how to leave, when to , and the chance of getting caught and getting in trouble. Even after he leaves will he starve? Getting injured? I would feel so confused in what to do.
